It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"Qin Ming, I've saved this spot for you!!"

Song Yun waved her snow-white hand to Qin Ming.

"coming."

Qin Ming, ignoring the envious and jealous gazes around him, sat down next to Song Yun, along with his three roommates who had come with him.

Although this selection competition did not require participants to sit in class formations, everyone consciously gathered together according to their own class.

"Qin Ming, what's your number?"

“I am number 233.” Song Yun showed her number plate to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming also showed his number: "Mine is near the back, it's number 321."

"There were quite a lot of participants, but I heard that most of them were students from other departments."

"Our freshmen majoring in Trainers make up one-third of the participants, and senior students majoring in Trainers also make up about one-third of the participants. The last third of the participants are senior students from other departments."

Song Yun shared the information she knew. It was true that the battles were mainly for students majoring in Trainer, but since the battles were not limited to any particular department, some senior students from other departments also participated.

Song Yun blinked her big, bright eyes and asked curiously, "By the way, have you heard about the preliminary round schedule?"

"Yeah, I heard about it."

Qin Ming nodded slightly and said, "An elf version of PUBG!!"

The preliminary rounds of the selection competition were very brutal because there were a large number of participants, making it impossible to have time-consuming and energy-draining one-on-one battles.

Therefore, the competition is based on a group of fifty people, who are placed in a single battlefield for a free-for-all.

The final five will be determined and advance to the next round.

Only 5 out of 50 players advance, resulting in a 90% elimination rate. This brutal competition format is the origin of the "Elf Version of PUBG".

Chapter 90, A Savage and Exciting Melee, The Most Beautiful Elf Mina

Sun Pengcheng raised a question: "To be honest, isn't it possible for people to illegally team up in PUBG?"

In solo PUBG, some players communicate with each other to avoid fighting, and even team up to attack other players. This kind of gameplay is called illegal teaming.

This method of playing the game is discouraged in battle royale games, but it is repeatedly prohibited but still occurs.

It is understandable that Sun Pengcheng raised this question.

After all, in a free-for-all of fifty people, having a helper greatly increases the chances of advancing.

Moreover, since they are all classmates, students from the same class or dormitory might end up in the same area.

This provides a fairly convenient opportunity for illegal team formation.

"There definitely will be!"

Li Shiwei said, "Some people have pointed out before that this competition system is unreasonable."

"Later, the school also felt that this competition system was unfair, but they did not change it."

"Because the school leaders believe that such a large-scale melee is a simulation of this unfair world."

"Only those who can break through the encirclement are true strongmen. If you don't have the strength, even if you pass the preliminary round by illegally forming a team, it's useless."

"Because the upcoming 1v1 official matches will expose their true lack of strength."

"And to illegally form a team in front of 30,000 students at the university? Putting aside everything else, at the very least, they're guaranteed to lose their right to choose a partner for the next four years of university!!"

"hehe."

Qin Ming smiled faintly. He didn't care about illegal team formation; he was more concerned about the experience that the upcoming melee would bring him.

After completing the challenge for the Charmander Medal, he came to a conclusion.

Defeating Pokémon with trainers yields more experience points.

In other words, the chaotic battle that's about to begin will be filled with high-quality experience points.

I love this kind of chaotic, treacherous warfare.

"We can let Little White come out and collect some experience points then..."

While Qin Ming was filled with anticipation, the upperclassmen sitting next to him were also discussing the selection competition.

"I'm optimistic about Luo Yongbin, a junior, in this year's selection competition. He missed the selection competition last year because of special training."

"It is said that he has been secretly training in the secret realm for the past six months in order to win the championship in this selection competition, and he only returned a couple of days ago."

"That Lü Wanyun is also very strong. She has a powerful background and is the daughter of the head of the Shenzhen Dojo. It is said that she is being groomed to be the future head of the dojo."

"I wouldn't dare say she'll be the champion, but if she doesn't get into the top three, I'll eat shit on my head!!"

"And then there's Shao Ziyao, a sophomore. He was undoubtedly the strongest newcomer last year. It's said that he had some kind of special encounter during his training in the secret realm!"

"Hey, I heard that the freshmen this year are pretty fierce. Apparently, one freshman used a Charmander medal to register for the competition."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? A freshman in college can get the Charmander Medal? I really don't believe it!"

"To receive the Charmander Medal, you need at least one Pokémon that reaches Gym Leader level. Can a freshman train a Gym Leader level Pokémon?"

"Don't even mention freshmen, you can count the number of juniors who can train Gym Leader level Pokémon on one hand."

"My roommate works in the student union. He saw it with his own eyes when he was helping out in the student affairs department. It's absolutely true!"

"Come on, ask around and see who would believe it. A freshman winning the Little Fire Dragon Medal? There are probably only a handful of people in the whole country who could do that!"

"Oh, maybe. Maybe my roommate is seeing things."

"..."

Listening to the conversation of the second-year students next to him, Sun Pengcheng felt an urge to run over and refute them.

Li Shiwei grabbed him and pointed at Qin Ming, who was whispering with Song Yun: "Look at Brother Qin, he's so calm."

"Whether others believe it or not, you should know that a true master will not go out of their way to prove themselves for a few ordinary people."

"Too!"

Sun Pengcheng responded softly, "I must say, Brother Qin's calm demeanor really does have the air of a master."

……

As the clock struck ten, the stirring "Athletes' March" abruptly stopped.

The bustling Elf Arena quickly fell silent as a middle-aged man walked onto the stage in the very center of the arena.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Ruping, the president of Shenzhen University."

As the middle-aged man introduced himself, the entire stadium erupted in enthusiastic applause. As a renowned trainer in China and the founder of Shenzhen University, Xu Ruping deserved the respect of all Shenzhen students.

"Clap!!"

"Clap!!"

Chen Junliang, who idolizes Xu Ruping, clapped vigorously, his eyes filled with admiration.

Looking at Qin Ming, who was in the center of the stage, he also gave his applause. However, unlike Chen Junliang's admiring gaze, a hint of longing flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

"One day, I can also..."

Being able to stand in the center of thousands of people, feeling their adulation and the immense glory, must be an exhilarating feeling.

Xu Ruping, standing in the center of the stage, lowered his hands slightly, and the applause gradually subsided.

"In the blink of an eye, the annual campus selection competition of Shenzhen University has begun, and it is time for students to show their cultivation results again."

"We hope that students will bravely showcase their talents in the upcoming selection competition and achieve their desired results for themselves and for the elves..."

After delivering a series of positive and uplifting remarks emphasizing friendship first and competition second, Xu Ruping declared, "The Shenzhen University selection competition is now officially underway!!"

As his voice faded, the stage began to slowly transform, and a professional heavyweight boxing ring the size of a football field rose up.

The teacher in charge of this selection competition from the Student Affairs Department took the microphone from Xu Ruping and announced the rules of the competition.

"The first round of auditions will be a free-for-all elimination tournament with fifty participants and no rules."

"Participating students will proceed to the battle arena in turn according to the number on their registration slips."

"Each battle is limited to 15 minutes."

"Each participating student can only use one Pokémon in the free-for-all. When five contestants remain in the battle, they will automatically advance."

"If more than five Pokémon remain in the battlefield after the 15-minute time limit, then everyone in that round will be eliminated."

Stimulate!

The last rule is clearly designed to force participating students to fight.

It's barbaric and chaotic enough!

As the rules were announced, the corresponding images appeared on the large LED screens in the stadium.

"Contestants with bib numbers 1 to 50, please proceed to the battle arena!!"

One by one, the students displayed their number plates, entered the spacious battlefield, and took their positions.
